I am looking for a 4 to 6-bay NAS that supports HDD of different sizes in RAID 5 configuration and allow for expansion as I am able to purchase larger drives. The NAS must be capable of transcoding PLEX media up to 4K on-the-fly. The biggest must-have is dependability, currently on QNAP TS-251 with 4GB RAM and it is a nightmare!
Items I would like:
2 LAN ports with a minimum of 1GB each
USB expansion capability
Cloud support
Remote Access
You offer the best information I have found on the web regarding NAS's. However, I am completely lost in the sea of QNAP, Synology, and TerraMaster. Plus the idea of having to purchase 4 or 6 of the same size HDD when I have 4 to 6 HDD ranging from 3TB to 10TB is just not in my budget. I want to get all 10TB HDD at some point but not in budget. I need the NAS to work for me not me for it.
Thank you in advance for your advice and great content.
